An explanation of the Illustrated Pocket Library of Plain and Coloured Books: Messrs. Methuen are publishing a series in small form of some of the rare and famous illustrated books of fiction and general literature, faithfully reprinted from the first or best editions without introduction or notes. The particular and attractive feature of these books is the reproduction of all the illustrations which appeared in the original issues : illustrations which are part and parcel of the books, and which, from their beauty or skill or humour, had often a greater share of their success than the text itself. Most of these books had coloured illustrations, and they are here similarly given. Wherever it is possible the books are contained within one volume. "A really brilliant idea brilliantly carried out." - Sphere. In red cloth bindings with paper labels to the spines. Externally, generally smart, lightly rubbed in places. Corners are slightly bumped on all volumes. Spines are sunned. There is some discolouration to the boards on some volumes. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with some scattered light foxing. Very Good. R. Cruickshank; John Leech et al. (illustrator). book.…
